UPDATE 12/15: Today I had to go to the emergency room. I couldn't form thoughts clearly, had a bad headache, and couldn't look at bright lights. I was diagnosed with a concussion. So along with everything, I will be missing work and may have to pay medical bills that my insurance may not cover. I'm still keeping the goal at 8000, but I need this money now more than ever.

On the way to see Citric Dummies, Rex Tycoon, and EKGs in Pittsburgh on December 13th, I got caught in the winter weather. I go all the way to support the bands I love and today I paid the price with my car. It's totalled. Gone. I had all my cameras in there and most are fine but will need to replace a couple camera items too. I don't know how long insurance will take or it will be enough to pay off the rest I owe on the car. I've given a lot of my own time and love into music out of my own pocket. If every person I ever photographed gave me a dollar I would probably a quarter of the way there.

As I write this, I am sitting in the lounge of a Pilot gas station that Ive been in for 6 hours. Nobody could come out for me at the time. No rideshares or taxis either. This has been one of the worst days of my life.
